Requirements
Who can register a .nu?
- Any individual or organisation can register a .nu domain name, provided you can be identified by a personal identity number, an organisation number or a registration in a government authority's register.
- If you live or are based outside the extension's country, you can use another unique identification number instead.
Additional details for registration
- You provide an identification number: your personal identity number, your organisation number or your registration number in a government register, such as the Dutch Chamber of Commerce or a foreign trade register.
- If you live or are based in Sweden, a valid Swedish identity number is mandatory, such as 123456-1234.
- Companies also provide a valid VAT number.
- Write identification numbers in exactly the right format. The format differs by type of number and by country.
Transfer
Transferring a .nu
- To transfer your domain name to another registrar, you need a transfer code, which WebOké requests from the registry for you.
The transfer code
- Since 1 June 2024, only the registry creates transfer codes. WebOké requests a new code for you and passes it on to you.
- The code consists of the extension, the expiry date, a registrar identifier and a unique string of characters, separated by hyphens.
- Always use the full code, including all parts and hyphens, otherwise it won't be accepted.

Change of registrant
Change of registrant
- With a change of registrant, both the current and the new registrant receive an email. Both must approve the change.
- If either of them doesn't approve within 10 days, the request lapses and the domain name stays in the name of the current registrant.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- If you don't renew the domain name, the registry deactivates it 8 days after the expiry date and your website and email will stop working.
- Until shortly before quarantine, you can still manage the domain name. For example, you can still request a transfer code or put the domain name in someone else's name.
- On day 70 after the expiry date, quarantine begins at the registry IIS.
- On day 77 after the expiry date, the domain name is released and anyone can register it again.
